Members El Glom-o Posted April 9, 2007 Members Share Posted April 9, 2007 The proper, Italian way is "Di-mar-tsi-o". Wouldn't it require a double-z ("zz") in order to be pronounced with that "ts" sound, like in "pizza"? I think the proper pronunciation would be more like "Dee-mar-zee-o", although in actual use, most Italians wouldn't hit that long "e" sound in the first syllable quite so hard, making it more like "Di-mar-zee-o".
